Finally, major news media have reported that deficiencies in Vitamin D and DHA

are very serious and wide spread. This is what Dr Joel Fuhrman, MD has been

saying for years.

 

Most plentiful source of both Vitamin D and DHA is fish, especially salmon and

sardines.

So, this should be a wakeup call for all strict vegetarians and vegans, who do

not eat fish.

Of course, one problem eating fish are the toxins from mercury, plastics, etc in

our polluted oceans. Perhaps, wild salmon is less polluted?

 

So, if you want to get your DHA from fish, best to get PURIFIED fish oil. For

example, like the Barlean's Brand, which is sort of in the mid range price-wise,

and claims to be " Fresh Catch, Omega 3 EPA/DHA Ultra Purified, Pharmaceutical

Grade, with a stamped bottled date, " or something like that.

 

DHA supplements are also available from vegetarian sources( algae ), but maybe

more expensive.

You can get some @ www.drfuhrman.com

 

Vitamin D comes from both fish and vegetarian source also:

D3 is from fish and supposed to be more absorbable.

D2 is vegetarian and you need to take more of it than D3.

Unless you live in sunny California, Arizona, Florida, etc, it may be wise to

supplement vitamin D.

 

Also, strict vegans, vegetarians should have their B12 checked and/or

supplemented as a precaution.

 

Here is an interesting story about a billionaire's diet from

http://healthyweightloss4babyboomers.com/archives/1649 :

" Over 2o years ago Mr. Murdock lost his wife to cancer. In his search to try to

save her, using all his millions to research and try to find a cure for cancer

he found out it was too late for her. But, the reason she got cancer was that

they were simply not eating right. You would think they ate the best of

everything. In fact God gave us all the best of everything. Genesis 1:29 states

he gave all the fruit, vegetables, herbs, seeds, and nuts as the food that would

be meat( food ) to us. So after spending millions David Murdock realized that

his main problem was to eat a diet that consisted mainly of fruit and

vegetables. They took a look at his average daily diet and he had an egg white

vegetarian omelet for breakfast, a salad for lunch, and another salad WITH FISH

FOR DINNER. Throughout the day he would have 3 or 4 fruit juice or smoothies.

Now I have not spent millions of dollars but that sounds like my daily diet. It

sounds very similar to what I advise everyone I talk to. What he did not say,

yet they showed it, he is very active and he exercises regularly. "

 

Food at Amritapuri:

The food at Amritapuri is vegetarian, with exception of eggs which are provided

at the western canteen. And the locals are fishermen; so little sardines are

plenty available off the ashram grounds. Amma's father was also a fisherman and

the great sage Vyasa was from a fishermen clan. So, something to ponder at: " Are

all Hindus strictly vegetarian, or are eggs and fish an exception for some? "

 

Amma Bless !
